I agree with you. I'm not sure the problem can be solved at a legal level, though. The question is, cna you get people to conserve at a household level? From what I can see, the answer right now is NO. You can't even get people to drive practical cars (just gotta have the 8000 lb SUV that

You could also include in that the fact that what allows some of the worst offenders to get away with thing (at least as far as the corporations go) is not lax laws, dirty politicians or any of the other crap that some would have you believe. It is public apathy. When I was in high school,

Well Greg. Let's have a look at all this. I generally consider myself an environmentalist. Of a type maybe - the anti-environment Wise Use type perhaps? I suggest it because your posts bear a lot of those hallmarks. You sneer at the environment groups, you use a broad brush, you know better:

Uh.., there's a bit more than just a small problem with the following thought process and visual. There is major benifit to drilling for oilin alaska, and very few drawbacks. I think part of the problem is that people have trouble conceptualizing 300,000 acres out of 16.8 million.

How do you come up with an 864% under representation? Calculate the mass of a 5 lb bag of sugar, calculate the mass of a teaspoon of said sugar (I used a heapng tespoon if it really matters) and you end up with a ratio (within +/-5%) that is the same as the 300,000/16.8 million. We could

on further investigation, you are correct. The measure I used was NOT a teaspoon. I apologise. the point is, you are talkinh 1.7 percent of the total area in question. In the sugar analogy, that would .085 lbs or 38.554 grams. Again, sorry, I pulled that from a chart we use to calcule

Your acreage ratio was 1:56 (300,000:16,800,000) You compared that ratio to 1 teaspoon per 5# bag of sugar. 11.25 cups / 5# bag of sugar 16 tbsp / cup 3 tsp / tbsp That's ratio of 540 teaspoons / 5# bag - a ratio of 1:540 and a far cry from 1:56. One 100% allowance for your first teaspoon.
